Readings! Free Philippine Literature PDFs

EDIT: Readings! has moved to a new site – visit http://philippinelit.0fees.net for updates.

This is my (quite delayed) response to Carljoe Javier’s “The digital library manifesto“, partly a fulfillment of one of the manifesto’s aims – to create access to works of Philippine Literature by digitization. Most of these works (saved as PDFs and uploaded on my Scribd account) come from the photocopied readings from my college days, sourced from different books from different professors and different subjects.

If you are one of the authors/representative of the estate of one of these authors, and don’t want to have a PDF version of your work going around the Internet, just (kindly) post a comment and I’ll remove it.

(I’ll also post more reactions in a separate blog post, but not now. Still processing the details of what I want to say.)

New uploads every Sunday. so often. If you like this page, share!
